Competitiveness of dairy farms in three countries: the role of CAP subsidies

Zhu, Xueqin; Demeter, Robert Milan; Oude Lansink, … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2008

This paper investigates the impact of CAP subsidies on the competitiveness of dairy farms in Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Technical efficiency results show that coupled subsidies have negative impacts in Germany and the Netherlands, but no significant impacts in Sweden. Decoupled...

Returns to scale effect in labour productivity growth

Mizobuchi, Hideyuki - In: Journal of Productivity Analysis 42 (2014) 3, pp. 293-304

Economists acknowledge that technical progress and growth in capital inputs increase labour productivity (LP). However, less focus is given to the realization that changes in labour input alone could also affect LP. Because this effect disappears when the short-run technology exhibits constant...

Undesirable outputs and a primal Divisia productivity index based on the directional output distance function

Feng, Guohua; Serletis, Apostolos - In: Journal of Econometrics 183 (2014) 1, pp. 135-146

Efficiency measurement when producers control pollutants: a non-parametric approach

Rødseth, Kenneth - In: Journal of Productivity Analysis 42 (2014) 2, pp. 211-223

This paper treats efficiency measurement when some outputs are undesirable and producers control pollutants by end-of-pipe or change-in-process abatement. A data envelopment analysis framework that compares producers with similar pollution control efforts is proposed. First, my approach avoids...
